Overview

Synopsis

S.S. Lager - l'Inferno delle DonneFilmed back-to-back with the less offensive (and far sillier) Lager S.S. Adis Kastrat Kommandantur, this Nazi sex-horror entry from director Sergio Garrone is more of the same, only with a heavier emphasis on rape, torture, and gore. Tongues are ripped out, fingernails pulled, abdomens shredded, and so on, culminating in the inevitable and somewhat disingenuous climactic uprising, which (as in American women's prison films) is somehow meant to excuse the parade of atrocities and smarmy exploitation which preceded it. Between the United States, Italy, and France, over two dozen Nazi sex-horror films were released between 1974-1978, and Garrone's are among the seediest of the lot. Attilio Dottessio, Giorgio Cerioni, and Paola Corazzi co-star in both. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
